CycleNation September 2016 This fall the American Heart Association|American Stroke Association's CycleNation-a community of cyclists and friends on a quest to put the brakes on stroke-is taking over a community near you. How? By turning the motion of cycling into a movement for healthy living. From pop-up events at a CycleBar near you, to full weekends of cycling events in Denver, Dallas, Cincinnati and Atlanta, we're riding together to push harder for prevention and treatment and pulling together to start a revolution in health. Whether we ride because we survived a stroke or heart event, or we're doing it in memory of someone who didn't, we all want to stick around longer and stronger-to be there for our loved ones and show up for Life. Join us-as a CycleNation squad leader, rider or donor. (Or, better still, all of the above.)
